About the time in Palchenai
Palchenai sits at latitude 8.18, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 21m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Palchenai follows the civil time used across its region of Sri Lanka; there is no separate local reckoning inside the city.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Palchenai day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 03:30–11:30 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
